ing. Use the canopy screws to fasten the canopy to the housing
(see fig. 2).
g. Route the AC supply wires and ground wire from the exit through
the rectangular hole in the exit housing and through the slot in
canopy. Make the proper connection. Our system can accept
input voltages from 120 to 347 VAC. Therefore, connect the pur-
ple (hot) and white (common) leads to the building utility (see fig.
5). For master exit sign wiring, connect the orange (277 VAC) or
the black (120 VAC) and the white (neutral) to the building utility.
Feed the excess wire into the junction box.
Note — For the Nexus models wiring, go to the section “Nexus
Models” (see fig. 7).
h. Mount the exit/canopy assembly to the canopy mounting plate by
guiding the two tabs on the canopy plate into the slots in canopy.
Use the securement screw to fasten the canopy to the mounting
plate (see fig. 2). Go to step 3.
Wall Mount
a. No canopy required. Determine the proper knockout in the back
cover for mounting. Support the area around knockout with two
blocks of wood. Strike knockouts from the inside with a hammer
and screwdriver (see fig. 4). Follow the chevrons knockout proce-
dure in the Canopy mount section, step e.
b. Route the AC unswitched wires through the large hole in the back
cover.
c. Mount the back cover to the junction box using the junction box
screws.
d. Make the proper connections. Our system can accept input volt-
ages from 120 to 347 VAC. Therefore, connect the purple (hot)
and white (common) leads to the building utility. For master exit
sign wiring, connect the orange (277 VAC) or the black (120 VAC)
and the white (neutral) to the building utility. Feed excess wire
into the junction box (see fig. 5)
Note — For the Nexus models wiring, go to the section “Nexus
Models” (see fig. 7).
4. Snap the two halves of clampshell together.
5. Energize AC. Sign will illuminate.
6. Units with vandal resistant options, refer to fig. 6.
AC/DC Models
Refer to fig. 5 for AC & DC wiring.
For DC portion — Wire the Red lead (+) to the positive DC input volt-
age and the Blue Lead (-) to the negative DC input voltage. Note: DC
input voltage range is 6 volts to 48 volts.
Nexus models
Refer to figure 7 for the wiring of Nexus models.
These units can accept an input voltage of 120 or 277 VAC:
120 VAC — Connect the black (120 VAC) lead and white (neutral) lead
to the building utility. Insulate the orange wire.
277 VAC — Connect the orange (277 VAC) lead and white (neutral) lead
to the building utility. Insulate the black wire.
Feed excess wire into the junction box.
Leave as much space as possible between the live voltage cabling and
the unsheathed low voltage data cabling.
Run the double insulation of data cables past the line cabling section and
only strip back the last 30mm of the data cable sheathing.
